Not a Recap: Miami 120, Cleveland 92 (or, Why Can’t they Just Rest Everyone?)
In a game where Cleveland was missing four starters (J.R., Kevin, LeBron, and Kyrie) and Andrew Bogut (yet to join the team), the Heat put a hurt on the Cavs. After an early 18-10 Cleveland lead, Miami closed the gap to end the first 35 all. Then they clamped down the defense to limit the Cavs to a 16 point second quarter while burying a barrage of threes triggered by superior ball movement and unconscious shooting to post a 67-51 first half lead. It was all downhill from there.
